Not exact matches
Supercooled water droplets in a cloud can remain liquid at temperatures far below freezing, their surface tension preventing solid crystals from forming.
Supercooled water droplets can exist naturally in the upper regions of the planet's atmosphere, but physicists still don't know just how cold liquid water can get.
The vapor pressure in equilibrium with supercooled droplets (liquid H2O) is higher than that in equilibrium with solid H2O at the same temperature, so liquid droplets will evaporate to feed deposition on an effective ice nucleus.
A contact nucleus converts liquid water to ice by touching a supercooled water droplet.
